What Kampmann does

Kampmann is a German family-owned manufacturer of water-based heating, cooling, and ventilation systems for non-residential buildings. Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Lingen (Ems), the company employs over 1,100 people across three European production sites and operates in 11 international markets via wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Poland. Its product portfolio spans fan coils (Venkon, KaCool, KaDeck, KaDius, PowerKon LT), air heaters (Ultra, TOP, TIP), floor convectors (Katherm HK, QK, NK, QL, ID, QE), air curtains (UniLine, Tandem, ProtecTor), air handling units (KaCompact), decentralized ventilation, heat pumps, chilled water units, radiant ceiling systems, and design grates, all unified by a water-based climate technology approach and integrated through the KaControl building automation platform.

The company sells exclusively B2B via a postal-code-based field sales network, supported by a Kampmann Kampus training academy that delivers VDI 6022 hygiene certification and technical seminars. Kampmann's engineering emphasis includes heat pump compatibility, low-supply-temperature operation, Coanda-effect air distribution, EPP housing technology, and EC cross-flow fans. Notable proprietary technology includes KaControl with multi-protocol BMS interoperability (CAN-Bus, Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet/IP, KNX-TP), utility model-protected bypass motor cooling, and VDI 6022 hygiene compliance across the product range. Reference projects include Geneva Airport (2.2 km of floor convectors), Hotel Roomers Baden-Baden, RTL Sendezentrum Köln, Eurotheum Frankfurt, Schloss Elmau, Revo Hotel München, and Rose Bikes Bocholt.

Revenue is generated through project-based hardware sales of HVAC terminal units and air handling equipment, complemented by professional engineering services (consulting, design calculation, measurement, custom solutions, delivery, installation) and an aftermarket spare parts e-shop. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held under second-generation owner Hendrik Kampmann, with Kampmann Group GmbH serving as the holding entity and Kampmann Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH as the personally liable general partner; no venture capital, private equity, or public shareholders are involved.
